Effect of Lime and Boron Fertilization on Soybean

This book focuses on the role of lime and boron fertilization in improving the growth, productivity, and quality of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill). It explains how soil acidity and boron deficiency act as major constraints to soybean cultivation and highlights the importance of balanced nutrient management in overcoming these limitations. The book discusses the individual effects of lime in ameliorating acidic soils and enhancing nutrient availability, as well as the critical functions of boron in plant growth, flowering, and seed development. Emphasis is also given to the synergistic interaction between lime and boron and their combined impact on nodulation, yield attributes, and seed quality. Designed for students, researchers, and extension professionals, the book provides practical and scientific insights for achieving sustainable and efficient soybean production under diverse agro-ecological conditions.
